Oi, 
 
It would be nice to go to a language school in Brazil.  I studied Spanish in Costa Rica and enjoy it a lot. I liked the small class size and the option to stay with a Costa Rican family. The school also offered things to do on the weekends. Do you know of any language schools you recommend?  I open to different locations.  
 
Obrigado,
John

Oi John
I have heard about Fast Forward. It seems that they have schools in different cities in Brazil. In fact, I have a couple of students who are moving to Brazil in March and they will probably try the program. I will let you know when I hear their feedback.
Obrigada for the question.

What's apparently pretty popular with expats in Brazil is the courses offered by Kumon. Kumon in Brazil is different than the one in the states; with Kumon, you can learn maths, English, Japanese, a slew of other languages, but also "proper" and conversational Portuguese.
I'll be taking some Kumon classes next year for Portuguese; my namorado has taken Kumon for Japanese and couldn't recommend it higher.

Oi, John....
Earlier this year I studied for three months at Interclass in Campinas, São Paulo state.  I had a great experience there and would recommend it to anyone looking for individually tailored, one-on-one instruction.  Here's the link to their website: http://www.interclass-cps.com.br/Interclass_pages/Introduction.html.  
Tudo de bom!
